The Book of Hardness

0

You don't know that I never bend, I always 'snap'. That's because I'm an absolutist.

A strong argument could bend, but that's because it doesn't break.

What measure I follow I tap.

Mass is suspending in a trap.

Infinite efficiency portends.

A layer of difference fills the gap.

NOTE: I remember encountering this text at Bard college. My conclusion is my professor was a time-traveler.

Sacrosanctitudes:

1

Truth is in the affirmative.

2

What is easy to explain is simple.

What is really impossible is complex.

3

One must compare different things.

One is different, the other the same.

We should explain the similarity and the difference.

4

Explaining contradiction creates opposition.

Opposition is the source of irreconcilable problems.

The ideal anything is something without problems, except perhaps philosophical ones.

Un-philosophical contradictions are evil.

5

Absolutism has a quality of absoluteness.

Relative relativism implies absoluteness.

Knowledge can be measured in degrees.

The absolute life is absolute.

The objective measure is the absolute measure qualified by semantics.

The universe is my light and flaky.

(Note: keep quote with 5th set)

6

Something happens.

We learn recursively from eternity.

Our representation of experience works or does not.

We have a negotiation strategy.

Some strategies are better than others.

Truth matters.

7

An idea is a matter of truth.

The good is an idea of considerable matter.

Considerable matters have meaning.

When something happens, if it seems good, it has an idea of matter, and it is true.

This good happening has a natural quantity which is how good it is, and how good it is is what is good if anything is good, if we consider everything.

What is opposite of a good happening is against the natural quantity, which is not how good it is, and it does not seem good, and it does not have the same idea of matter, and it is not true in the same way.

Therefore, truth is a puzzle.

8

Therefore, truth should be elaborated until we find the best meaning.

Contradiction should be eliminated.

We should find what is most meaningful and certain, unless what we desire is not certain, or unless meaning is of an evil nature.

Some things will be most meaningful, and they will add to the quantity of truth.

Other things will be less meaningful and less certain, and they may subtract from the quantity of truth.

We should seek truth in it’s highest form.

We should find out what is most imperatively true, and whether it is good.

Then we should seek to maximize it’s meaning.
